Since the October 7 attacks, over 150,000 Israeli citizens have left the country, many of them with a one-way ticket and no plans of returning. Hila Amit interviewed several Israeli Jewish emigrants, whose testimonies point to a profound loss of faith in the Zionist project itself — one that may signal a broader systemic unraveling.

Israel is pretty damned politically. The more people of conscience leave the more concentrated the rightwing will be there, and it's already 60%-70% right leaning.
It's partially an ethno-nationalist state, partially a theocracy, partially a racial apartheid state, partially an extension of the American Military Industrial complex.
You're buying into a lot when you more to Israel. It's like living on the cop's gun, then being surprised when it goes off.
That's the thing about a land, you become someone of that land, of the character and people. You have to in order to survive.

So much for all that "Regular Muslims need to stand up to extremist" bullshit we were fed by Jews for years.
